Summary
**Overview**
Is democracy backsliding around the world? How should governments tackle the cost-of-living or climate crises? What governments do and why they do it are perennially important questions. In today’s complex and ever-changing world, a critical understanding of these processes and their results is more vital than ever before.
On our dynamic MA in Public Policy and Public Management course, you’ll gain a rich appreciation of the many ways that policy is made and the factors that influence it. You’ll emerge with an in-depth understanding of public policy and management at both national and international levels. Flexible and multidisciplinary, this course is ideal if you have a social science degree and hope to specialise, a degree in environmental studies or geography and seek wider applications of your subject knowledge, or if you’re a professional interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the processes you deal with every day.
You’ll gain a strong foundation in both theory and practical problem-solving. You’ll also be able to tailor your studies to your interests by choosing from a range of optional modules on a wide variety of topics such as elite power, the environment, or foreign policy. You’ll develop your interests even further through your dissertation, in-depth independent research which you’ll complete with the supervision of an academic expert.
Beyond the classroom, we offer a huge array of activities for you to get involved in, including internships, placements, staff-student debates, and opportunities to contribute to our blog and podcast series. We also host a regular speaker series featuring academics and politicians who debate and discuss the hottest political topics of the day.
You’ll develop transferable skills applicable to many careers, including the ability to think critically and constructively question received wisdom. You'll also enhance your presentation and teamwork skills, engage in project work, conduct critical analysis and synthesis of arguments, perform independent research, and apply theory to real-world cases. As a result, you’ll be well-prepared for careers in government and the Civil Service, NGOs, media and journalism, or you could choose to pursue further academic study.

**About This Course**
Public policy is concerned with big, complex issues, such as how we deal with environmental crises, or how we approach migration. It’s not only about what government should do, but how they do it. On this course, students gain a rich and wide appreciation of the many ways that policy is made and the factors that influence it.
This Masters’s in Public Policy and Public Management is anchored in two core modules, which will give you a strong foundation in theory and practical problem-solving. You’ll then be able to specialise in areas of public policy such as migration, electoral management, and the environment.
You’ll take your interests even further through your dissertation – a piece of in-depth independent research which you’ll complete with the supervision of a faculty member.
As a member of our postgraduate community, you’ll also have the opportunity to attend numerous events and talks during your time here. We regularly attract distinguished lecturers, with previous guests including Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party; Caroline Lucas, MP for the Green Party; Gary Gibbon, Political Editor for Channel 4 News; Owen Jones, author and columnist for The Guardian; Caroline Flint, Labour MP; John Bercow, former Speaker of the House of Commons; Shami Chakrabarti, former director of Liberty; Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Shirley Williams; Professor Anthony Giddens of the London School of Economics; Douglas Carswell, former UK Independence Party MP; Sir Stephen Wall, retired diplomat; and Lord Richard Dannatt, formerly Chief of the General Staff.
